A web resource and list that might be of help:



PULP (pulp)  n. 1. the fleshy, succulent part of  fruit; 2. any soft, formless substance, as of disintegrated matter, esp. wood fiber used for making paper.  v.  to squeeze,  press,  knead.

CULTURE (kul-chur) n.  1.  a society or group characterized by its distinctive practices, customs, beliefs; 2. an appreciation for art, literature, music;  3. improvement by care or training in a special environment.

PULP CULTURE:   to press, squeeze, knead, or shape the juicy, fleshy, succulent bits of culture, media, and politics. 

Pulp Culture is an e-mail discussion list and (eventually) 'zine focusing on critical engagements 
with and analyses of media/culture/politics. From the fleshy, sweet acidity and pulpy bits of popular media/culture to the tough, bitter rind of Culture to the tendinous fibers of the political economy, we want to "pulp culture" from a variety of critical, practical and theoretical perspectives. Our aim, 
as well, is the reconstruction of theory. That is, we want to "pulp theory" in order to interrogate its presuppositions and to examine the conditions of its possibility. Discussions at Pulp Culture, then, are intended as interventions  in the terrain of ongoing theoretical, cultural and ideological-political 
struggles inherent in the production/consumption of media/culture in all its forms.

To join the fun, fray and fissures at Pulp Culture send a subscription message to:

mailto: majordomo-AT-infothecary.org.  

In the body of the message type, subscribe pulp-culture.
